    Aerial Cable?

    Which cable should I use for running from my roof aerial to the sockets around the house? I've had the following suggestions:

    PF100
    CT100

    Thanks for that.

    Any ideas what PF100 cable is used for? The link only mentioned CT100 and WF100

    Re: Aerial Cable?

    From this link, its seems pf100 and wf100 are pretty much the same but the wf100 is harder to kink. If your going to run the cable outside use a foam cable as water can get down the air fulled given time. You might not see from the link provided by Flibb that the solid core make the center pin of the F-Type, also get a "Hex" crimp tool as they are crimp connectors. They are not that expensive from maplin, squashing the F-Type with grips or a vice makes for a very poor result.
